Now that the PM-1 is out. Let's start our listening impressions and appreciation comments here. The original thread is crazy long and may be hard for new to Head-Fi members to learn about how this headphone sounds.

I will have my unit today so check back here for my unboxing/first look video.

And sounds fine (just stretched my input wires to be able to use my Pass F3 and, yes, it sounds great. Was fine with my Hafler DH200, but even better with the Pass. Someone mentioned that a 'speaker amp' could sound better than a dedicated Head-amp. I agree)

Everything can be and is compared to the HD800, no doubt. But this is a special case where a new planar magnetic headphone is manufacturered and released; it'd be dumb not to compare to to Hifiman and Audeze as the biggest priority.

It's like if a new 200m sprinter enters the Olympic scene, he should be matched up against other 200m sprinters first, before he goes into 100m and 500m sprints.

Speaking of which, anything worth mentioning about the 560? Any changes or something you'd like to point out or highlight?

You'd think that with the 150 posts I've made (including a mega-post, that being the first post of the 560 general) since last Thursday when I got the HE560, that enough information about it has been churned out, but no, you fanboys are never content.
